Warfare & Tactics

Good evening,

So, firstly I must say that what I want to put forward here is by not means a communication on behalf of or approved by Amarr 7th Fleet or its leadership. I am speaking as a member of the Amarr Militia and would like to hope we can move forward with my comments.

A quick into on me before you all flame noob in my general direction, I have been in Amarr FW for about 17 days now but have played Eve since 2005, doing anything from low sec piracy, hauling to 0.0. My comments are based on my experience in the Militia and that only.

It has become apparent over the last few days that there is a lot of hostility building between leading corporations and alliances in the Militia. I see no real reason for this to escalate or turn into anything else. From my experience thus far I have PVP'ed pretty much daily and ran plexes equally, both vital parts of the Factional Warfare idea.

I have been in fleets with FC's from many corporations and must admit I have to commend all of them, there has not been one FC yet that I have believed to have failed or under delivered their task. I have also FC'd 1x 40 man fleet myself a week ago and this also went well. Between the various corporations in the militia we have some fantastic members and some fantastic fleet commanders.

It is time we pull together our resources, drop the hostility and drop the years of built up tention for the long standing corps and alliances in the Militia. If I have to say one thing about the minmatar, they have their act together, they are usually uniformed fleets with good numbers and good organisation.

At present, and this is no Miltiia secret, the Amarr fleets are a bit wet and lacking in numbers. We all know there are plenty of people online in the Miltiia that could join a fleet and become part of one unit rather than split into little tight nit groups.

Use our resources, use the good FC's, help the new members to the militia. The time to pull together is now!

I appreciate this thread is more than likely going to get flamed by both sides and various others but feel our Militia leaders need to pull together, hold a meeting on voice comms and start organising some well built fleets all working towards one common goal which is to reclaim systems and to destroy Minmatar Militia where needed.

Reclaiming of systems and PVP are both vital parts of this game and people doing both or either should not be shot down for their efforts. The ones causing the real issues are those that join the militia and sit in a comfortable high sec seat.

So, is now the time for Amarr Militia to change, can we pull together some interest in what I am saying, Militia Leaders are you willing to listen and work together, dropping past events?

Lets hope so A, and get this militia to someplace it needs to be!

ONE MILITIA ONE TEAM ONE GOAL!

Amarr Victor!!!

Speaking on behalf of myself!

We've got dumbass, loud members, you've got dumbass, loud members. Let's hug.

we need more active fleets for quick response. Fweddit runs around kamela area but I haven't seen any amarr militia fleet except one or two pilots who tag along with us. Follow our lead and ignore the stupid KB stats and have fun.

I for one would tag along, but I hardly see any fleet(s) in fleet finder most of time ...

This seems to be the case where Fweddit already believes in its own hype. And it has shown in its own arrogant forum warrioring and telling the rest of Amarr militia on how to do things. This is a failure in leadership and diplomacy from Fweddit High Command. No corp, regardless of how big you are, can carry the load an entire militia.

Friendly fire best fire.

This. Mostly (in Minnie militia chat) it's some boob named raven666knight (or something like that) talking about his balls, or raping chicks, or leading the enemy into the system, talking big, then running like a little girl.

Minnie chat FTW.

I had a long post of quoted responses but it all turned into drivel


ATM Fweddit is having a bigger impact operation with out most militia members. We talk with allot of them but one alliance in particular is handling it wrong .

System flipping is happening i dont see a major issue with it as long as the war is moving along.

The 7th act like dicks in Plexs and contested systems to militia members we don't see a need to put up with it.

Cultural victory

This is a nice post and frankly it is a refreshing thought. On the topic of unification and setting aside differences, one must first understand that organizational leadership have to enact policy and enforce conformity to set policies.

If an alliance/corp sets forth a directive, the membership should conform to it to the best of their ability. This is pixel spaceships and some of those playing are children, so it is understood that some will disregard direction. This is the way of a rebellious nature. Shylari and Durr have been working diplomatically with Amarr 7th Fleet leadership and honestly it seems that diplomacy is working at the leadership level.

The problem is the fact that their are still members of both sides and third parties that refuse to conform to directives. Amarr 7th Fleet mailed their membership and clearly stated to leave Fweddit alone and allow diplomacy, yet members refuse to abide by that policy. It doesn't matter if one believes that the other started it or they won't stop trolling, the fact remains that a policy set forth by your leadership dictates you shut up in chat and stop communicating unprofessionally in militia chat and via evemails.

If you have issues, use your leadership. Ofcourse High Command won't be able to bandage every little scuffle, but they will try where able. Fweddit has every intention of redirecting toward the Minmatar/Amarr Faction War, everyone has been invited to Mumble via Shylari Avada, and frankly the elitist attitude needs to stop. It doesn' t matter how long or short you have been playing EVE or a member of the militia, Amarr have been losing for some time, and that is nothing to be proud or demand any form of respect.

Form fleets, ask for help when needed, respect every member (especially our new members and players), fight the opposition, and communicate respectfully. If you have questions, Shy has already said to mail him. Mail any of us if you need help, and I am sure you will find if you approach us in a friendly manner, we will always be there for you.

"Making the way for a better Empire"

Tbh the problem you're having is that everyone expects the other corps to do things in a certain way. Which, realistically speaking is never gonna happen. You're not gonna see fweddit in dreads more then you are gonna see w-br in rifters.


So most effective is to coordinate so everyone gets to do what they can do. If you have a plexing push, let general militia do cruisers, let fweddit run around in thrashers for minors, and put w-br in t3s and guardians in majors. If there's a big fight, put w-br in caps, put gen militia in neuting bs, and ask fweddit to bring a lot of thrashers and shoot whatever they find appropriate just so enemy guardians/triage will get spammed with tons of armor broacasts.

That beeing said, we fail terribly at coordinating in Gal Mil, so am prolly just talking out of my ass
